Chris was Ben’s secret son.
Joshua's eyes were as dark as a moonless night. "He's got quite the reach, even from another country."
Nearby, Thomas stood, visibly tense, barely daring to breathe.
Joshua's voice was icy. "Since he's making his move, there's no need for me to hold back. I heard he's just snagged a major project overseas?"
Thomas nodded. "Yes, just recently. Over the years, Chris has expanded his influence to several neighboring countries. He’s set up his own bases..."
Joshua's lips curled into a smirk. "Let's send him a little 'welcome' gift. Make sure that the project of his doesn't go forward."
Thomas responded promptly, "Understood."
"And was it Chris' crew who took out Sue?" Joshua asked.
"Yes," Thomas replied, his face serious. "It seems Sue was no longer useful to him, so he tied up loose ends."
Joshua's eyes narrowed, a sharp chill emanating from them. "Classic Chris."
He was used to blatantly disregarding the law, leaving a trail of bodies, and being utterly ruthless.
Joshua's expression hardened. "Since he's so idle, let's give him some work. Get in touch with Mills over there to help us deal with Chris. We can't let him keep that project."
"Yes, sir!"

At Chris' private villa, t
he phone on the nightstand rang incessantly.
After automatically hanging up, it started ringing again, like a never-ending curse.
"Chris... your phone's been going off for ages... aren't you going to pick it up?" a girl asked, slightly out of breath.
Chris didn't reply, but a playful grin lingered in his captivating eyesBeads of sweat dotted his forehead. His naturally handsome looks were even more irresistible in his current state.
The woman found herself breathless, lost in his gaze, surrendering completely.
...
Lillian had tried calling countless times, but no one picked up.
